How the practices of Ramadan started
- The early Muslims would awake for the pre-dawn meal - known as suhoor, then refrain from eating, drinking and marital relations until sunset, when they broke their fast with dates. Fasting placed a strong focus on improving behaviour.
- Congregational night prayers (taraweh) is a defining feature of Ramadan, where the entire Quaran is recited.
- Coffee helps the worshippers stay alert and perform the night prayers.
